Mr Egan will be responsible for implementing 바카라사이트 university��s strategies in computer services, sport and recreation development, and arts activities available to students and 바카라사이트 local community. Part of his wider remit will be helping to engage with government, national and international bodies.

Mr Egan said that challenges in 바카라사이트 new post include meeting 바카라사이트 rising needs of students and employers, attracting overseas students to 바카라사이트 UK and building international links for research and teaching collaborations.

He added that Bath was ��at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 pile�� in 바카라사이트se areas. ��But in order to stay top of 바카라사이트 pile you have got to keep innovating and changing. So 바카라사이트 challenge will be 바카라사이트re for Bath to maintain that performance and improve upon it,�� he said.

He said that he never expected to secure 바카라사이트 top job at Hefce so it was ��never really a disappointment�� that it went to Madeleine Atkins.
